IEEE 802.1x check box

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

In an effort to get my home network machines actually talking to each other
when the moon is NOT over the horizon, I came across this check box on the
wireless router, and also on the LAN properties window. Should I be using
that or not? Is it going to create ore problems. I am already using
WEP(128) on the network (got an old linksys 802.11b ethernet bridge that
doesn't support anything else).

Thanks!
